I tried to log onto Iceman's site and forum. Nothing there

Anyone know what happened?

No idea. He's also removed all personal information from his profile and his last 13 posts have been turned to blanks. Matrox originally posted this and I still haven't a clue as to what is going on.

as much as iceman contributed to the scene, i could sort of see this coming... at the very least, i think he needs a vacation from arma, which is probably exactly what he's doing. which is what i'm basically doing, and it definitiely helps.

they deleted his forum
deleted his web sites (all of them not just the iceman site)
changed his email passwords
and then destroyed his hard disk

If you check the times that the Iceman's post were changed to ...
The admin should be able to call up the ip numbers that were used to do this.
If i remember rightly if you check the ip of the poster in this iceman at the same time you can call up all other ip that have been used by the User.
From getting the ip you might be able to have a better ip of who messed his posts on this forum and likely hood it is the same person that messed up the rest of his stuff.
unless they used anonamizer.

Sorry to hear that Iceman

what a drag.
Hope you get things fixed up, hope you find out who did it to you though.

Good luck.

i think i know who did this and how it happened (partly my fault)

1st mistake ) I replied to someone that ive had trouble with via email telling him to p*ss off and not send me any more emails

later i was playing a racing game (offline) so i turned my firewall, virus scanner etc etc off to help my slow pc with a little more fps

2nd major mistake ) Later I went online and forgot that i had my protection still turned off

(lack of sleep can be dangerous) so the f***er must have been probing ports

sorry everyone, hope to get things sorted soon.

sorry to jump to this conclusion, iceman, and glad you're still around and part of the scene.
